New York Mets Baseball Tickets

The New York Mets may not have the lengthy history of teams such as the Boston Red Sox or Chicago Cubs, but their fan base is just as passionate as those of other organizations. It's not hard to see why, given the significant success the team has had over the years, picking up New York Mets tickets will let you see one of the most consistent teams in the National League East.

Born circa 1962, the New York Mets hold the distinction of being one of the first expansion teams. Always having New York as their home base, The Metropolitans hail from Queens, a borough in New York City. The Mets got off to a rough start when they played their first season in 1962. That year, they posted the worst record in MLB history, but it wasn't long before they were competing in a World Series, and they captured their first title in 1969 after a stunning upset of the Baltimore Orioles. After that, the team had a string of impressive seasons including a run to the 1973 World Series and a 1986 title where they beat the Red Sox.

This East Division baseball club is well known for many of the anomalies that seem to plague the team even as recently as 2010, such as: no pitcher for the team has ever thrown a no-hitter and no player has ever hit three home runs in a game when hosting. Despite these baseball factoid oddities, the New York Mets tout a number of division titles and pennants as well as quite a couple World Series championship victories.

In addition to having multiple titles to their credit, the Mets have also welcomed many legendary players, ranging from Tom Seaver - one of the best pitchers of all time - to sluggers such as Mike Piazza, Yogi Berra, Nolan Ryan and Daryl Strawberry.

Rivalries are the standard within the MLB, and the New York Mets have not escaped this fact. League contentions with the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Philles date back to the late 1960s and the 1980s, respectively. This contention is followed closely by the enmity with the New York Yankees, fueled mostly by the annual Subway Series.

With a state-of-the-art stadium in Citi Field, the Mets will be a staple of New York City for decades to come. Regardless if they are home or away, the Mets draw crowds of fans that love the team's level of play!
